Hi there, this is the announcement thread for lolMiner 0.6 (stable version) and lolMiner 0.7 (alpha version) a multi algorithm Equihash miner with focus on AMD GPUs (OpenCL based).Note it will run on most Nvidia GPUs, too but the speed and stability may vary. Hope to improve this in the future.

- New codes for all coins on all cards (better speed)- New API and statistics module (API updating every 10 seconds)- Better stratum stability- Improved stability for many GPU systems- and many more small stuff I can not remember

Usage:

The first way to use the miner is from command line interface. The syntax is

Here the <shortCut> parameter is a short name for the coin you want to mine. For example inserting AION will configure the miner to mine AION, MNX for MinexCoin and so on.For more shortcuts and more options please read the lolMiner_manual.pdf shipped with the miner.lolMiner 0.5 supports fail-over pools, configuration files (easy sharing between Rigs and easy switching between coins), automatic worker names, a simple statistics reading API, logging to text file and many more features.

Known issues and troubleshooting:

Problem: The miner crashed at startup when creating memory buffers or miner ends up with 0 sol/s from start.Solution: The AMD driver requires on start as many MB of system memory as it will need on all started GPUs together. Increase the fixed page file size (Windows) or swap partition size (Linux) to give the rig more virtual memory.

apart from the few command line options described in the 2 PDF files, are there any other command options? if so, what are they?

Thank you in advance for your answers

What options do you search for? Anything specific?

at least, I would have appreciated the following options (which were present in v0.34):-max-connection-Attempts-set-reconnection-timer-enable-time-printsome options that I will appreciate:possibility to generate a log fileset maximum temperature threshold
